This is my Air Force Condor; at the moment it is fitted with the 12" .22 barrel, a 62 cu. in. tank, a regulator, and a Barska 8-32x42 scope. It'll drop squirrels at 50 yards, and because of the longer Condor frame the barrel muzzle is four inches inside making the hammer striking the valve...

Keltec P-11 used for $216 out the door. Light, reliable, cheap.

Couldn't agree more. I am surprised at how quickly they foul, and yes cleaning usually fixes the problem.

In my experience air guns need to be cleaned a good deal more than .22lr. I don't know why except maybe the soft lead of the pellets sticks more to the barrel.

I bought a Diana 48 that had a broken spring and the guy threw in the new spring. I guess he didn't want to try to fix it himself. I don't know what it shot like before but it was flawless with the new spring. Sold it off to buy a Condor though.

If you haven't tried them already you might give the JSB pellets a try. Most of my rifles love them, and in .177 they have a sampler at pyramid air so you can find out which of them shoots best in your gun...

I have an Air Force Condor that in .22 with a 32.4 grain pellet will shoot under an inch at 50 yards and close to 90 fpe out of a 24" barrel. That's the farthest shooting lane that I have at my place. Others that have custom machined rigs can hit a pop can at a quarter mile using .257 cast lead...

The Webley Hurricane is a great tool. Plenty accurate out to 30 feet. Did you get one with the scope or just irons? I bought an old beater with the Webley scope, no irons, and it was WELL used and dirty when I bought it. After a thorough cleaning and some practice I used it to kill red wasps...

Thanks for all of the great responses.

Thank you Vern, good info. Since this will be used mostly in deer hunting it looks like we'll be going with heavier bullets. Cheers

I don't know if there is a general of thumb on whether shorter barrels like lighter bullets or heavier ones but I know if there is an answer out there you guys will know.

I've contacted several friends here and only one is interested in going. :banghead: I guess they are all too busy until the popo comes lookin' for their guns.

Thank you for keeping us up to date Your work is greatly appreciated. Having written to both Senators here neither has replied, whereas Mo. Brooks, our districts Congressman, wrote back a very Pro2A email in less than 48 hours. I'll be continuing to email my Senators until I receive a response.

Spent two years in the Alaskan interior. If I had my choice of weapons to carry up there it'd be the FN FAL. It'll handle the crappy weather better than any of the others, always runs, uses any ammo available, reasonably good accuracy, a little heavy but not bad, and tough as nails. You can get...

No way a woman and her kids should be allowed to injure others like this. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local/mother-of-two-surprises-burglar-with-five-gunshots/nTnGR/ Hope Hollywoodheads read this, but then again everything they read at work is fantasy anyway so what can we expect...
